LONDON, Aug. 3R--An enormous crowd
congregated In the Palace yard yesterday
afternoon 90 await the arrival AZ the
House Of Commons Of Mr.. Gladstone, and
when the Liberal leader finally came. he
received an ovation III for king. Nor did
tho enthusiastic greeting Of the grand old
man stop then. His entrance into the
House was the signal for burst OF cheer
ing, hand-clapping. hat tossing and baud.
kerchief waving that lasted for several
minutes. In marked contrast 20 the recep-
ton Of Mr.. Gladstone by the people as.
sembled outside OF the Parliament House
was that accorded by the popnlace
to Lord Salisbury, Lord Randolph
Churchill and Mr.. Goschcn. As
each OF these gentlemen appeared in view
. storm Of groans, boots and misses arose
aud increased in volume until the object Of
the crowds detestation disappe AIRED from
sight. The effect Of this exhibition Of
popular disfavor, upon Mr.. Goschen In par
ticular, was Enthusiastically severe, and the
spectacle Of the Chancellor OF the Ex-
chequer crying and shrinking before the
bowls, jeers and Kisses Of representative
crowd OF Englishmcn was extremely pitt
full. The absence Of Mr.. John Nor
lev from his seat was conspic-
uously noticeable, and was the cause
OF much comment OF varied character.
The Tories claim that his failure 10 re-

essential to the success OF Mr.. Gladstone's

been in his seat last evening.

stone arose to speak was highly exciting.
He was tremendously cheered at the be-
ginning OF his speech and vociferously
applauded nj the end, and the bowls and
cat-calls OF the younger Tories sank into
insignifcance beneath the weight Of the
avalanche OF approving cries. Mr.. Glad
stone was in splendid form. His voice
rang out with all its accustomed clearness
and resonance. and the vigor Of his ges-
lures betoken excellent health and intense
devotion 70 his cause. His utterances
aftested the fixity Of the Liberal position,
and left nothing 70 lie explained as 70 is

the Liberal party is unalterably opposed

in Ireland. and equally determined 70 sup

Of the National League.
The arguments Of Mr.. Gladstone and
his followers, rs set forth i'm last nights

the report OF General Sir Redvers Butler,
under secretary for Ireland. which was
exhaustively discussed at the conference
OF Liberal members held yesterday. Pre-
